This is America right now, but this is not America at all. What is happening is surreal, but very real. I am ok right now, but I am not at all ok. These statement dyads are all true.

Nice news to wake up to!
While you were sleeping, Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey flipped a ruby red state Senate seat with a 20 point swing against Trump, breaking the GOP supermajority.
If you’re wondering why Republicans are rigging maps, this is what they’re afraid of.

I was next to Morrissey at airport security at SFO in 2015 when he got yanked out of line by TSA and hassled. I took a bunch of pictures of his humiliation. Later when the event made the news because he was calling it groping by TSA, I thought "I should sell those pics"... but I was too lazy.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
